Our pounamu designs are steeped in meaning and inspired by the art, culture, and beauty of New Zealand. Many pounamu meanings stem from historical accounts of Māori life and the rich mythological and spiritual beliefs that Māori hold. A Toki is worn as a symbol of strength, while a Koru depicts life, growth and new beginnings. This means you can deliver a sentiment or story with the pounamu you choose as a gift.
Our pieces come with a mini meaning card that speaks about the design.
We consider every element we use when packing your piece. From sustainable materials to meaningful details such as artist profile cards. Your piece will come in an environmentally friendly jewellery box that is made from cardboard, includes no plastic, and can be recycled. Your jewellery box will then be securely placed in a low-ink, recyclable card shipping box (used to protect the piece in transit).
To ship your piece, we’ve opted for home compostable shipping mailers by r3pack, that are made from plants and plastic-free. For our international customers, we have also chosen to use DHL’s GoGreen Plus services as part of our commitment to aiming towards Climate Neutral Shipping.
